Trauma Counseling

Our whole community was hurting after the traumatic summer in 2017. Different populations were specifically targeted by the violence, racist and Anti-Semitic chants, and intimidation tactics of the white supremacists. First responders and medical volunteers were impacted by what they experienced. Over $155,000 has supported trauma counseling services through the following organizations:

ReadyKids

Sisters Keeper Doula Collective

The Women’s Initiative

Community Mental Health and Wellness Coalition

Common Ground Healing Arts

Charlottesville Police Foundation

The Funds have also supported other community efforts:

Heather Heyer Foundation to provide scholarships to local students

United Way Community Table event in October 2017

National Compassion Fund to support individuals impacted by the violence
